The findings indicate that applying the ten contemplations contributes to holistic well-being in the following ways:(1) Physical well-being: 1) Asubhasaññā (contemplation on the unattractive) helps reduce attachment to physical appearance by seeing the body as it truly is—not inherently desirable. This leads to decreased sensual craving and encourages mindful self-care without clinging to outer appearances. 2) Ādīnavasaññā (contemplation on the danger) highlights the drawbacks of the body as a source of suffering, such as illness and fatigue. This awareness fosters careful attention to physical health and promotes preventive healthcare. 3) Ānāpānasati (mindfulness of breathing) helps the body relax, reduces stress, regulates the autonomic nervous system, and strengthens the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. (2) Mental well-being: 1) Aniccasaññā (contemplation on impermanence) encourages understanding the Five Aggregates as impermanent, thereby reducing attachment and easing anxiety during change and transition. 2) Virāgasaññā (contemplation on dispassion) cultivates mental letting go and reduces clinging to defilements, fostering inner peace. 3) Nirodhasaññā (contemplation on cessation) affirms the possibility of ending suffering, inspiring practitioners to seek true peace. 4) Ānāpānasati supports emotional regulation, stress and anger reduction, and helps the mind become calm, balanced, and conducive to concentration and insight. (3) Social well-being: 1) Sabbaloke anabhiratasaññā (contemplation on non-delight in the world) reduces attachment to ego and lessens tendencies to compare or compete with others. It fosters understanding, empathy, and compassion in social relationships. 2) Pahānasaññā (contemplation on abandoning) focuses on abandoning unwholesome mental states, such as ill-will or harmful thoughts, thereby enhancing interpersonal relationships and reducing conflict. 3) Ānāpānasati develops attentiveness and deep listening—skills essential for effective communication and building healthy social connections. (4) Intellectual well-being: 1) Anattasaññā (contemplation on non-self) cultivates the understanding that the sense faculties and phenomena are not-self, leading to a transformative perspective on life and the relinquishment of ego. 2) Sabbe saṅkhāresu aniccasaññā (contemplation on the impermanence of all conditioned phenomena) encourages wisdom development by recognizing the natural process of arising, persisting, and ceasing in all things. 3) Ānāpānasati, when practiced skillfully, supports the development of yonisomanasikāra (wise reflection), which leads to ñāṇadassana (direct knowledge and insight).</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 สมศรี รุ่งแสงทอง https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/280801 Creative Folklore Concepts for Developing Cultural Tourism in Tai Dam Ethnic Community of Ban Na Pa Nat, Chiang Khan District, Loei Province 2025-07-04T08:33:15+07:00 Phayungpon srichanthawong phayung16@gmail.com Napat Pattarathorn mapoonboy@hotmail.com <p> This academic article aims to explore the application of creative folklore concepts in the development of cultural tourism within the Tai Dam ethnic community of Ban Na Pa Nat, Khao Kaeo Sub-district, Chiang Khan District, Loei Province. The data were collected through documentary research, field study, and focus group discussions using structured interviews with ๑๐ key informants, including knowledgeable persons, local scholars, and stakeholders in tourism. The analysis and interpretation of data were guided by the frameworks of creative folklore and the functional roles of folkloristics.</p> <p> The findings reveal that the Tai Dam community of Ban Na Pa Nat has been managing their cultural tourism since ๑๙๙๖. The community has been applying creative folklore to enhance tourism activities through four key approaches as follows. (2) Reproduction of Narratives: legends and myths are reinterpreted to present the identity of Tai Dam through history, beliefs, traditions, rituals, and ancestral narratives of the community. (2) Creation of Intellectual Products: Local wisdom, such as cotton weaving and ritual amulets, is creatively transformed into tourism products, including souvenirs, clothing, and accessories. These products were embedded with narratives to create value and add value; so that, the new meanings are enhanced for the tourism products. (3<em>) </em>Presentation of Ethnic Cuisine: Distinctive dishes like <em>Jaeo Ot</em> and <em>Jup Pak</em> are showcased to reflect the Tai Dam ancestors’ cultural adaptation to the natural environment and knowledge. ๔) Performance Arts: Traditional games (e.g., <em>Makon Lod Buang</em>), Seapang Performance, and Fon Kaen are staged to welcome tourists, fostering cultural immersion and interactive learning. And ๕<em>) Creating the tradition of "Tum Hom Phi Nong Tai"</em> to unite the Tai Dam ethnic group and create social, cultural networks and Community Based Touris. The development of the mentioned cultural tourism activities demonstrates how creative folklores generate added value, create employment, increase income, and ultimately improve the quality of life about society, economy and culture for the villagers in Tai Dam community to be sustainable forever.</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 พยุงพร ศรีจันทวงษ์, ณภัทร ภัทร์ธราธร https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/279699 Buddhism and the Integrated Sustainable Development of current Society 2025-07-21T22:33:15+07:00 Phrakhrudhammathorn Waradecha Aggatejo (Waradecha Phromsena) wpa2546@mcu.ac.th <p> This article aims to: study the current problems in society; study solutions to social problems that will lead to benefits, success and happiness; study the Planning guidelines for preventing and solving social problems according to Buddhism, by analyzing the problems that arise in the way of life to synthesize, manage, improve and develop according to the objectives that have been laid without contradicting the needs of people in society, Buddhism</p> <p> has important principles for social development. it is benevolent and is in harmony with the society at all times especially when society is in crisis that arise on a regular basis such as from social, economic and environmental aspects, Buddhism, besides playing an important role in solving the problems and developing that society very much, It also has the ability to create unity to occur, by coordinating the links between society to make changes in the right, good, integrated way This will result in a society, which is consistently with morals and ethics. and sustainable quality.</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Waradecha Aggatejo https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/279632 Guidelines for participatory personnel management of teachers in educational institutions under the Ayutthaya Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 2025-05-27T13:14:21+07:00 Jirapan Pradidkwan jirapun252628@gmail.com Weearphat Phattharakul P_Weeraphat@hotmail.com <p style="font-weight: 400;"> The objectives of this research were (1) to study the needs for participatory personnel administration among teachers in schools under the Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, and (2) to propose guidelines for participatory personnel administration among teachers in schools under the Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Primary Educational Service Area Office 1.

This results from attempts to diminish the credibility of Buddhist teachings and efforts to incorporate local religions into the Hindu cosmological framework. Since the Buddha taught doctrines that contradicted Vedic traditions, it is believed that this incarnation was introduced during a period when Buddhism was gaining immense popularity. The Puranic texts were among the earliest literary works composed to respond to the dynamic social shift from Vedic religion to Hinduism and to counter alternative religions. Therefore, the Buddha Avatara appearing in Puranic texts has negative characteristics, aimed at attacking the Buddha.In contrast, the Buddha Avatara depicted in Kshemendra's <em>Da</em><em>śā</em><em>vat</em><em>ā</em><em>racarita</em> contains content similar to the Buddha's biography without the attacking characteristics found in Puranic literature. This difference possibly stems from the fact that Kashmir, where the <em>Da</em><em>śā</em><em>vat</em><em>ā</em><em>racarita</em> was composed, was a multicultural society where Buddhism and Hinduism flourished side by side.</p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 บุษยมาน วัชนาค, ชานป์วิชช์ ทัดแก้ว https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/280143 An Analysis of Issues and Needs in the Development Handicrafts in Nong Khanak Subdistrict, Tha Ruea District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province 2025-06-20T15:21:30+07:00 Maechee Kritsana Raksachom Kritsana.rak@mcu.ac.th Orachon Kraichakr pu_2556@yahoo.com Kannikar Khaw-ngern kannikarkhaw@gmail.com Phramaha Warantorn Yanakitti warantorn999@gmail.com Prapanyawatcharabundit phannasomgs@gmail.com Pramaha Duangden Tunin Duangden.tun@mcu.ac.th <p> This research article is part of a project titled "The Development of Creative Handicrafts from Local Wisdom to Enhance the Grassroots Economy Based on Buddhist Principles in Nong Khanak Subdistrict, Tha Ruea District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province."

The sample consisted of 182 patrol police officers who completed questionnaires, six experienced patrol officers (with over five years of service) who participated in in-depth interviews, and thirteen experts who evaluated the proposed development guidelines. The questionnaire sample was determined using Taro Yamane’s formula based on the total patrol police population in the province to ensure a sufficient and representative sample.</p> <p> The quantitative research instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire with an Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of 1.00 and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.80, indicating good reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings revealed that patrol police officers recognized the importance of crime scene and evidence protection in supporting investigations, but still faced five major problems: insufficient equipment and vehicles, inadequate personnel, outdated and incomplete training, unclear laws and regulations, and a lack of cooperation from the public and relevant agencies. Experts strongly agreed with the proposed policy recommendations, which included providing equipment, increasing personnel, organizing modern training programs, revising laws and regulations, promoting inter-agency cooperation, and integrating technology to support operations. The study’s limitations include the sample size and geographic scope. It is therefore recommended that future studies be extended to other regions and include psychological factors and public perspectives to obtain more comprehensive data.</p> 2025-07-29T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 pitchayakorn deepa, sarit Suebpongsiri https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/280253 Guidelines for Enhancing Work Motivation among Teachers In Muang Group 1, Chachoengsao Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 2025-05-23T11:16:18+07:00 ลลิดา ปุญญะประสิทธิ์ rilida.rainyday@gmail.com Juladis Khantap juladis.k@rsu.ac.th <p> Research article aimed to study the current conditions, desired conditions, and needs of work motivation, as well as the guidelines for enhancing work motivation of teachers in Muang District, Chachoengsao Educational Service Area 1.

This study employs documentary research methodology by collecting data from the Tipitaka, laws, regulations, court judgments, legal texts, academic publications, research reports, dissertations, theses, and other related materials available in both Thai and foreign languages, including those published online. The collected data are analyzed, synthesized, and comparatively assessed.</p> <p> The research findings reveal that Section 29 of the Sangha Act B.E. 2505 (1962), as amended by the Second Amendment B.E. 2535 (1992), grants investigative officers discretionary power to declare a monk defrocked if accused of committing a serious criminal offense leading to <em>Parajika</em> (a major monastic offense resulting in automatic disrobing). Section 30 further requires the monk to leave the monastic order before the court delivers a final judgment. This precludes the monk from exercising the right to defend himself using clear evidence or testimony. Should the monk later be found not guilty, the damage is irreversible-he cannot be reordained, nor can his former ecclesiastical rank be reinstated. Such consequences severely undermine the continuity of the Buddhist monastic order and erode public faith in Buddhism. Therefore, the study proposes a revision to the law to allow provisional release, thereby safeguarding the legal rights of accused or charged individuals while respecting the legislative intent to protect Buddhism. This would contribute to a more sustainable and equitable resolution of the issue.</p> 2025-07-29T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 อมรรัตน์ ม่วงกลิ่น, Prasert Limprasert, Worapote Thanomkul https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/278066 Legal Problems Regarding the Liability of Monks under the Computer – Related Crime Act (No.2) B.E.2560 2025-06-20T13:56:41+07:00 กุลวดี ณ นคร nanakhonkul@gmail.com Prasert Limprasert Jadekamolgrup@gmail.com Worapote Thanomkul worapote42/50@gmail.com <p> In today's society, computer systems and the internet play a significant role in everyday life. Communication and information retrieval are conducted through online media, whether via computers, tablets, or mobile phones. Currently, the propagation of Buddhism utilizes online media as a crucial tool for disseminating teachings widely, not only within the Kingdom of Thailand but also globally, through convenient, easy, and fast methods. Therefore, using online media to spread Buddhism is a highly effective approach. However, the use of online media by monks remains unregulated, as it is considered a right to freedom under the constitution, allowing individuals to exercise their rights without violating the law or contradicting morality or public order. Since monks are a group of people in society with easy access to social media, just like the general public, the opportunity to commit offenses under the Computer-Related Crime Act (No. 2) B.E. 2560 may occur both intentionally and unintentionally. Offenses under this Act carry criminal penalties, including imprisonment, fines, or both. When a monk commits an offense specified in the Act, that monk may be subject to criminal punishment and may be forced to leave the monkhood. However, proving offenses under the Computer-Related Crime Act (No. 2) B.E. 2560 sometimes requires time to gather and examine evidence, especially electronic evidence to identify the perpetrator, which differs from general physical evidence. Proving definitively that a monk has committed an offense is difficult and more complex than general criminal offenses. Furthermore, monks are also subject to the Sangha Act B.E. 2505.</p> <p> Therefore, computer-related liability for monks is complex. Enacting additional laws or regulations specifically for cases where monks are held responsible under the Computer-Related Crime Act is necessary. Additionally, establishing an agency responsible for overseeing computer use by monks will help reduce the problem of monks' rights being violated, such as being forced to leave the monkhood when they have not committed a serious offense according to Buddhist disciplinary rules or do not meet the criteria under the Sangha Act B.E. 2505. Having competent and knowledgeable officials will help mitigate such problems and address issues arising from the misuse of computers by monks. Educating monks on the appropriate use of computer technology is another way to preserve the faith of Buddhist faith. This will help to maintain the faith and credibility of Buddhism and continue its propagation.</p> 2025-07-29T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 กุลวดี ณ นคร, ประเสริฐ ลิ่มประเสริฐ, วรพจน์ ถนอมกุล https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/279664 Efeects of Learning Fractions Through a Concrete Pictorial Abstract Approach (CPA) with Board Games on Prathomsuksa 3 Students’ Learning Achievement 2025-04-26T18:08:45+07:00 สุภาวดี อินทร์พรม suphawadi2369@gmail.com Kittisak Laksana suphawadi2369@gmail.com <p> This study aimed to (1) compare students’ math learning achievement on fractions before and after learning through a concrete pictorial abstract approach (CPA) and board games and (2) examine the satisfaction of students with learning through a concrete pictorial abstract approach (CPA) and board games.

The rise of digital technology has significantly transformed the media landscape, with most organizations relying on digital platforms as their primary channels for information dissemination. This shift has heightened the prevalence of echo chambers—driven by platform algorithms—that expose users to one-sided information, contributing to political polarization. Furthermore, the media plays a critical role in shaping public attitudes, beliefs, and ideologies through framing and agenda-setting. Regardless of the factual nature of events, media outlets possess the capacity to distort or steer public perception in alignment with their political leanings. Thus, understanding the media as a political actor is essential to comprehending the roots and evolution of political conflict in contemporary Thai society.</span></p> 2025-07-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 อภิเชษฐ์ เกตุมณี, สิริพรรณ นกสวน สวัสดี https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/280674 Model For Developing The Competency Of Students Practicing Professional Experience In Teaching To Become Learning Management Specialists Department Of Thai Language Teaching, Faculty Of Education 2025-06-20T13:52:12+07:00 Akekalak Tapwijitr akekalak.tap@mcu.ac.th Phitphiboon Thongkliang akekalak.tap@mcu.ac.th PhramahaSanthas Sotthivangso akekalak.tap@mcu.ac.th <p> This research article has four objectives: (1) To study the current situation of the development of student teachers' competence to become learning managers in the Thai language teaching program.

The study adopts a Research and Development (R&amp;D) methodology comprising four main phases: analyzing problems, designing and developing the model, implementing it on a trial basis, and evaluating the results. The sample population includes 40 international undergraduate students currently enrolled in a basic Thai language course for the of first-year students in academic year 2024 across four faculties at Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University (Central Campus). Research instruments utilized in the study include questionnaires, a teaching management manual for Thai language reading, and a Thai reading proficiency test designed for international learners. Data analysis was performed using techniques such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test.</p> <p> The research findings indicate that most students have difficulties in accurately reading vocabulary, possess limited vocabulary, do not understand meanings, pronounce unclearly, and use Thai language minimally in daily life, which leads to an avoidance of reading Thai and a dislike for courses focusing on reading skills. The developed teaching management model features a step-by-step reading activity manual, including pre-reading, during reading, post-reading, and assessment, which was reviewed by experts and tested with students. The experimental results showed that students' reading scores after lessons were significantly higher than before lessons at the .05 level, demonstrating the effectiveness of this model in developing Thai reading skills. Additionally, students' overall satisfaction with the teaching management model was rated as high (mean 4.40), particularly regarding its ability to stimulate interest and promote students' creativity.</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 พระมหาโกศล ธีรปญฺโญ, พระมหาสันทัศน์ โสตฺถิวํโส, พิธพิบูลย์ ทองเกลี้ยง https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/278177 บทวิพากษ์ เรื่อง บทบาทของเศรษฐีในการอุปถัมภ์พระพุทธศาสนาในคัมภีร์อรรถกถาธรรมบท พระมหาสิทธิชัย เตชวณฺโณ และ อุเทน ลาพิงค์ 2025-03-01T17:06:31+07:00 jirakitiya boonkrongsupya mingmoonoi@gmail.com <p> บทความเรื่อง “บทบาทของเศรษฐีในการอุปถัมภ์พระพุทธศาสนาในคัมภีร์อรรถกถาธรรมบท” นี้ เป็นบทความประเภทบทความวิจัย ตีพิมพ์ในวารสารพุทธศาสตร์ศึกษา ปีที่ ๑๕ ฉบับที่ ๑ (มกราคม-มิถุนายน พ.ศ. ๒๕๖๗) มหาวิทยาลัยมหาจุฬาลงกรณราชวิทยาลัย วิทยาเขตเชียงใหม่ เนื้อหามีจำนวน ๑๖ หน้า <br /> เป็นผลงานของพระมหาสิทธิชัย เตชวณฺโณ และ อุเทน ลาพิงค์</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 จิรกิติยา บุญครองทรัพย์ https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JMA/article/view/282478 The End 2025-07-31T04:06:10+07:00 Suchaya Sirithanyaporn su_cha2509@hotmail.com <p>The End -Appendix</p> 2025-07-31T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 สุชญา ศิริธัญภร
